13. This is the shift we are undergoing....from valued customers to corporate resources
that must be kept in line.

Airlines also used to value their customers. They wanted to please us and convince us to return. Now we are assumed to be criminals, we line up for crotch searches, and we are stuffed into the planes in the cheapest possible way.

I have stopped shopping at a neighborhood grocery store, because they started aggressively checking receipts. I do not appreciate being assumed to be a criminal in my neighborhood grocery store. In addition, the quality of their produce and meat has deteriorated markedly. I left after showing the manager that they were PURPOSELY cutting their roasts to have a thick line of gristle right through the middle.

We are being nickel-and-dimed to death, we are being disrespected, and we are being used.

I am angry for you.
